Thank you for the information. Pasta is one of the foods I have eliminated from my diet that I miss very much! Craving meatballs and spaghetti right about now :-). Too bad there's no low/no carb substitute for spoon size shredded wheat because that is what I really miss the most.

I've been using the rice for several weeks now, and really like it. I just got my Netrition order this morning with some of the penne pasta in it. I use zoodles for spaghetti and fettuccine, and spaetzle for macaroni, but haven't been able to come up with a penne pasta sub. I make my own lasagna noodles, and sometimes make spaghetti or fettuccine if I'm out of zucchini.

I had the fettucine in a cheese "sauce" today for lunch: I rinsed them well, then heated with a little olive oil and some Anthony's cheese powder...yum! But for me, there is still a rubber texture, at least the way I prepared them. I'm curious to try the smaller spaghetti and rice sizes.

Sharon, how do you prepare the rice, and in what kind of recipes do you use it?

We had fried Chinese rice with Miracle Rice. It was uber good.
Rinse rinse rinse, and then I squeeze a fresh lemon over all and mix,
cut and rinse. It's perfect. No taste at all, just becomes whatever you
decide it will be. Egg fu yung along with pork fried rice. Egg flower soup.
It was a LC Chinese feast.

Sunny, I make Mac and cheese with the shirataki. If you pan fry them for 6-7 minutes, the shirataki lose that rubbery texture. If they are rubbery, I know I haven't fried them enough. By the way, they shrink some during this time, so be sure not to shrink them into oblivion.

I've been using pasta from Low Carb Bread Company, Fiber Gourmet and Impastable, so I will add a bag or two of this rice to my next Netrition order. My regular pastas are great, but you can't beat 0 carbs and the low calories!

I have been desperately wanting to make Mexican rice pudding.....I'm not a fan of the miracle noodles, so purely going by everyone's advice here and taking a hit and ordering one bag of the rice version of the zeroodles...

I think Zeroodles are FINALLY the not noodles we've been looking for.
No weird smell. I only rinse a little bit.
I do not dry fry, lindaokc (by the way, I live in Tulsa!). Just rinse and maybe pat dry a little.

I got some of the penne zeroodles. Some of them were REALLY long...three inches or so. I wanted to try mac & cheese, so I took a pair of scissors and cut them into roughly half inch pieces similar to elbow macaroni. Worked fine.

Last night we had the spaghetti sized pasta under Linda Sue's Korean Bulkogi dish, which is marinated and then grilled. I rinsed the pasta and then "dry fried" it with the remaining marinade, a little lemon juice, Sirachi and a splash of fish sauce...delicious! The pasta did a good job of soaking up the sauce, actually turning brown in the process.

I'm sensitive to smell and can truthfully say there is NO fishy smell. So, for those
of you who can't get past the smell of other shirataki noodles, this brand is for you!

I rinsed the "rice grains" in a strainer and then dried them out in a non-stick skillet. I had a yen for macaroni-type salad, so I mixed in some chopped celery and green onion, seasoned salt, mayo, and sour cream.

Am very happy to report that this type of shirataki is the best pasta/rice yet, better than previous brands I've tried. Very little of the chewiness characteristic of shirataki.

which included the oat fibrezeroodles-spaghetti. I will try some tomorrow for the 1st time. although it is 100% fibre, I will still adhere to the suggested portion size. gosh, I hope it does not REALLY have an offensive smell! I like the fact that the package is in French and English. voulez vous mangez avec moi? Love & Profits: FLATFERENGHI

my 1st sojourn into zeroodle - dom will be to stirfry them in coconut oil and butter, and add SOME Mrs. Dash (the spicy one), SOME pepperoncino, SOME freshly cracked black pepper, and minced garlic. I want it MILDLY spicy, not five alarm. I would love to hear different ways y'all prepare your zeroodles. incidentally, if they are all I hope they will be, I will include more in my next Netrition order. Love & Profits: FLATFERENGHI
